STORYLINES (PLOTS)ARCABAL, JESSICA PAULA U.BSMT 2C JULY 9, 2015MR. JAIME CABRERACENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY, MANILA, PHILIPPINES

I learn about literary plots, electronic research,

and citing references by completing this activity.

“LIVE LIFE FOR THE MOMENT, BECAUSE

EVERYTHING ELSE IS

UNCERTAIN.”

See: Common Genres of Fiction hereSee: Homework Guide here

PLOT or STORYLINE

“Plot is a literary term used to describe the events that make up a story or the main part of a story.”

http://literarydevices.net/plot/

In my own words, plot shows the main event of a story, novel, play or a movie. It is presented in an interrelated sequence.

My example: The Cask of Amontillado

RISING ACTION

“The rising action is when things begin to escalate. It takes the reader from the exposition and leads them towards the climax. This part tends to be dramatic and suspenseful.”

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080916145903AAcpMNy

For me, a rising action is a series of occurrences in a literary plot that develop toward the point of greatest interest.

My example: Dave went back to France after 12 weeks of

work. France is his happy home.

2

TURNING POINT

“A turning point is a specific, significant moment when something begins to change.”

http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/turning%20point

For me, turning point is when significant change occurs.

My example: All of a sudden while he is packing his things,

his phone rang, “You must hurry, Jessica needs you here in Manila.” the caller said, by the look of Dave’s face, he is nearly fainting.

3

CLIMAX “The climax is the moment of greatest

emotional tension.”

http://study.com/academy/lesson/climax-in-literature-definition-examples.html

In my own words, climax is when the tension hits the highest peek.

My example: Dave phoned France to inform her that he

couldn't make it, because her daughter needs him more. France got mad at him, she said that he will break up with Dave if he will continue to go to Manila.

FALLING ACTION

“This is what occurs right after the climax. The direct effects of the climax.”

ml

In my own words, it is a part of a story or play

or novel that always comes after climax. My example: Dave explained everything to France, he said

that his daughter, Jessica, is dying and Jessica needs him more. She asked France to join him and meet the dying Jessica in Manila. France agreed after hearing his explanations.

5

RESOLUTION

“The act of finding an answer to a problem.” http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/

resolution For me, resolution is a part of the story where

the character finds solution to his/her problem. My example: Arriving at Manila, they’re both nervous.

France is sad deep inside for Dave but she needs to be strong for him and for his daughter, Jessica. Now, she understand where Dave is coming from. She realized that she need to be the best supporter she could ever be for Dave and for Dave’s daughter. She loves him, and she can lower her pride just for Dave.

I personalize my learning about the parts of literary

plot by completing this three-part activity.

Related Stuff

New concepts learned All of these are really not new to me since

we took this lesson from grade school to high school. Nevertheless, this activity made me understand the difference of rising action and climax.

NEW INPUTS1

This reminds me of… This activity reminds me every single

happenings, happened in my life. It reminds me of the adage that says “There is always a reason behind everything.” In every part of my life story, there was always one reason why it happened. All I need to do is to embrace and understand it.

CONNECTIONS2

Usefulness in real situations This activity serves as a practice for me.

I can now identify, what plot or part of a story. In the upcoming prelim exam, it will serves as a reviewer for me/us.
